Officials confirmed to BBC News that the singer’s visa application was scuttled: “We reserve the right to refuse entry to the UK to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offense. Public safety is one of our primary concerns.”

Brown took to Twitter last night to express his disappointment in the visa denial but has since deleted those comments.

He was originally scheduled to perform on ABC’s Good Morning America to promote his latest project, Graffiti, but The New York Post is instead reporting that Chris Brown will now be taking the stage for an entirely different reason, to talk about the infamous night with his then girlfriend, Rihanna. Although Brown has done countless interviews in the past few months, he has remained silent on the details of the February 8th fight. It appears that after months of silence, he’s ready to speak out and address the rumors and details in the same way ex-girlfriend Rihanna did with Diane Sawyer just a few weeks ago; the interview is believed to have been taped this weekend.

Expect Chris’s interview with Robin Roberts to preview on Good Morning America and air in its entirety on ABC’s 20/20 on December 11th at 10pm.
